Panchang — the five angas पञ्चाङ्ग

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Vara with their end-times, plus the month and the Moon’s and Sun’s signs — computed for this city’s sunrise. Times after midnight use the traditional extended clock (e.g. 27:23 = 03:23 next morning).

Tithi: Dwitiyaद्वितीयाtill 24:52then Tritiyaतृतीयाtill 45:39
What this means
The lunar day. It is set by how far the Moon has pulled ahead of the Sun — each 12 degrees of separation is one tithi. The tithi shapes which activities the tradition favours, and it ends at the time shown, when the next one begins.
Muhurta Chintamani — Tithi-prakaranam (Nanda/Bhadra/Jaya/Rikta/Purna tithi-types)
Nakshatra: Ardraआर्द्राtill 16:12then Punarvasuपुनर्वसुtill 37:37
What this means
The Moon's star-mansion — the patch of sky it sits in today, one of 27. Each nakshatra has its own temperament that classical texts use to judge what the day is good for.
Brihat Samhita — Nakshatra chapters (nakshatra qualities)
Yoga: Vriddhiवृद्धिtill 24:34then Dhruvaध्रुवtill 44:51
What this means
A combined Sun-and-Moon measure (one of 27 nitya-yogas) — not the physical posture practice. A few yogas, such as Vyatipata and Vaidhriti, are best avoided; most are ordinary.
Muhurta Chintamani — Yoga enumeration (tyajya-yoga list, v. 33)
Karana: Balavaबालवtill 14:39then Kaulavaकौलवtill 24:52chain: Balava (14:39) → Kaulava (24:52) → Taitila (35:12)
What this means
Half of a tithi — each lunar day holds two karanas. One of them, Vishti (also called Bhadra), is treated as inauspicious; the rest are workable.
BPHS — Karana-jnana-vidhi (11 karanas including Vishti)
Vara: Mangalavaraमङ्गलवार
What this means
The weekday and its ruling planet. Each day's planet colours which tasks the tradition recommends — e.g. Thursday (Jupiter) for auspicious beginnings.
Muhurta Chintamani — Vara-prakaranam (weekday lords)
Maasa (Amanta): AshadhaआषाढPravishte/Gate: 2
What this means
The lunar month. India uses two reckonings — Amanta (new-moon to new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon to full-moon) — so the name can differ by region. An 'Adhika' (extra) month is inserted to keep the lunar and solar years aligned.
Nirnaya Sindhu — Adhikamasa-nirnaya (intercalary month)
Maasa (Purnimanta): Ashadhaआषाढ
Paksha: Shukla (waxing)शुक्ल पक्ष
What this means
The fortnight. Shukla is the waxing half (Moon growing toward full); Krishna is the waning half (toward the new moon).
Calendar definition
Chandra Rashi: Mithunaमिथुनtill 32:13then Karkaकर्क
What this means
The zodiac sign the Moon occupies now. Together with your birth Moon-sign it drives Chandrabala — the Moon's day-to-day favourability for you.
Muhurta Chintamani — 2.4-2.5 (Chandrabala)
Surya Rashi: Mithunaमिथुन

Sidereal (Lahiri) ephemeris; anga end-times computed to the city’s actual sunrise. “Adhika maas” marks an intercalary lunar month (no solar sankranti within it).

How we compute this panchang

Every time on this page is calculated from the actual positions of the Sun and Moon using the Swiss Ephemeris (the same high-precision astronomical engine used by professional astronomers), not from a printed almanac or a fixed table.

Sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsha — the standard used by the Indian government calendar (ayanamsha for this date: 24.2267°). All nakshatra, rashi, tithi and yoga boundaries follow from it.
Local true sunrise — muhurta windows (Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Hora, Abhijit and the rest) are measured from the true sunrise computed for Vadodara's exact coordinates, so they are correct for your location, not a regional approximation.
Two month conventions — we show both the Amanta (new-moon-to-new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon-to-full-moon) lunar month, because different regions of India follow different ones; an Adhika (intercalary) month is marked when it occurs.

Significance and auspicious/inauspicious flags are drawn from classical texts (Muhurta Chintamani, Brihat Samhita, the Puranas and others) and cited inline — we never assert an effect a text does not state.

Choghadiya - Vadodara, 16 June 2026

On Tuesday, 16 June 2026, the Vedic calendar throughout Vadodara carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The sun rises at 5:54 AM and dipping below the horizon at 7:21 PM, bringing 13 hours 28 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Dwitiya of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Ardra. Vriddhi yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-06-16. Brahma Muhurta opens at 4:18 AM and closes at 5:06 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout Vadodara, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 3:59 PM through 5:40 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. Today's Disha Shool falls in the North direction — classical guidance advises against new Tuesday journeys toward the North. On the auspicious side, the Labh choghadiya (10:57 AM–12:37 PM) is the day's prime auspicious window. Ardra nakshatra is ruled by Rahu, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of Vadodara.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Vadodara on 16 June 2026?

In Vadodara on 16 June 2026, Rahu Kaal runs from 3:59 PM to 5:40 PM. This 90-minute window is governed by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for starting new work, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing shifts daily based on local sunrise, so it differs from city to city.

Why is sunrise in Vadodara on 16 June 2026 at 5:54 AM?

Sunrise at 5:54 AM in Vadodara on 16 June 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (22.31°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (7:21 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Vadodara's local horizon.

What yoga is operative in Vadodara on 16 June 2026?

The yoga operative in Vadodara on 16 June 2026 is Vriddhi, active from 4:39 AM to 12:34 AM local time. In the Vedic panchang, yoga is calculated from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon and cycles through 27 named yogas. Vriddhi yoga carries its own quality and influences the day's overall character — affecting the auspiciousness of activities begun during its span.
